AT THE WEST VIRGINIA STATE ARCHIVES

In order to claim an ancestor's medal, a claimant must submit his
or her line of descent from the veteran along with documentation to
support this line of descent. To establish line of descent,
claimants must include copies of primary sources, including
birth, death, marriage, will, deed, military, census, Bible
records, etc. Old letters, diaries, marriage announcements, or
obituaries may also prove helpful in verifying a descendant's
claim. Please note that a family chart submitted without further
documentation is not sufficient.How to Apply for a Civil War
